Domestic Violence Fatality Review Teams - Ensuring Culturally Specific Responses

Victims of domestic violence from marginalized communities face additional barriers when trying to access safety and justice. These cases require culturally specific responses to help break through these barriers and ensure justice prevails.

Through our Ensuring Culturally Specific Responses (ECSR) Project, we provide training and technical assistance to local, state, and tribal governments about implementing or improving domestic violence fatality review teams (DVFRT) who are informed by culturally specific responses.

Our DVFRT-ECSR Project services include:
